Editing as of 11/4/13

Added 11/4:   Multimedia storytelling: Storyboardingediting and assembling your story.

Added 11/4:  How much NPR edits!  (And how audio is easier than video): from On the Media.  Audio. Transcript.

Added 11/4: I just found this: Mary Viriginia Swanson on narrative and photography.  She’s very well-respected as a publisher of photo books, which means worrying a lot about selecting and sequencing images.  She also talks about displaying photos on walls — and websites.

Added 11/4: Here’s the site Swanson talks about: Pier 24 gallery exhibitions saved online as walk-throughs. Think about sequencing and use of space.

Dan Milnor (again) — How to make a photo book.  Dan is one of the only people I know who thinks and talks about editing and sequencing.  Others are concerned about it, too, but Dan actually talks about it.  In this video, he’s talking about making a book but the process is similar for anything that is a sequenced set of images (and video, too). Especially relevant content starts at 15:57 but the whole thing is relevant.

Shooting Puppies: A Tutorial – by Bradley Campbell with Pien Huang.  This is where I got that term.

Cultivating the editor in your brain: about audio editing. Applies to other kinds of editing, as well.  See the before and after scripts.

How do you create long form visual narrative?  Mike Davis.  Especially useful: his advice near the end about working with a collection of images. And: How do you sequence photos?
